7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
Designed meet the requirements of portable, battery-powered digital systems providing an accurate output
voltage with fast start-up. When disabled via a low logic signal at the enable pin (EN), the power consumption is
reduced to virtually zero
The LP3990 is designed to perform with a single 1-μF input capacitor and a single 1-μF ceramic output
capacitor.
7.2 Functional Block Diagram
7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Enable (EN)
The LP3990 Enable (EN) pin is internally held low by a 1-MΩresistor to GND. The EN pin voltage must be
higher than the VIH threshold to ensure that the device is fully enabled under all operating conditions. The EN pin
voltage must be lower than the VIL threshold to ensure that the device is fully disabled. If the EN pin is left open
the LP3990 output will be disabled.
7.3.2 Thermal Overload Protection (TSD)
Thermal Shutdown disables the output when the junction temperature rises to approximately 155°C which allows
the device to cool. When the junction temperature cools to approximately 140°C, the output circuitry enables.
Based on power dissipation, thermal resistance, and ambient temperature, the thermal protection circuit may
cycle on and off. This thermal cycling limits the dissipation of the regulator and protects it from damage as a
result of overheating.
The Thermal Shutdown circuitry of the LP3990 has been designed to protect against temporary thermal overload
conditions. The Thermal Shutdown circuitry was not intended to replace proper heat-sinking. Continuously
running the LP3990 device into thermal shutdown may degrade device reliability.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The LP3990 is a linear voltage regulator for digital applications designed to be stable with space-saving ceramic
capacitors as small as 1 µF.
8.2 Typical Application
Figure 13 shows the typical application circuit for the LP3990. The input and output capacitances may need to be
increased above the 1 μF shown for some applications.
Figure 13. LP3990 Typical Application
8.2.1 Design Requirements
DESIGN PARAMETER EXAMPLE VALUE
Input voltage range 2 V to 6 V
Output voltage 1.8 V
Output current 100 mA
Output capacitor range 1 µF
Input/output capacitor ESR range 5 mΩto 500 mΩ
8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
To begin the design process, determine the following:
Available input voltage range
Output voltage needed
Output current needed
Input and output capacitors
8.2.2.1 Power Dissipation and Device Operation
The permissible power dissipation for any package is a measure of the capability of the device to pass heat from
the power source, the junctions of the IC, to the ultimate heat sink, the ambient environment. Thus, the power
dissipation is dependent on the ambient temperature and the thermal resistance across the various interfaces
between the die junction and ambient air.
The maximum allowable power dissipation for the device in a given package can be calculated using Equation 1:
PD-MAX = ((TJ-MAX - TA) / RθJA) (1)
Copyright © 2004–2014, Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Documentation Feedback 11
Product Folder Links: LP3990
LP3990
SNVS251J MAY 2004REVISED SEPTEMBER 2014
www.ti.com
The actual power being dissipated in the device can be represented by Equation 2:
PD= (VIN - VOUT) x IOUT (2)
These two equations establish the relationship between the maximum power dissipation allowed due to thermal
consideration, the voltage drop across the device, and the continuous current capability of the device. These two
equations should be used to determine the optimum operating conditions for the device in the application.
In applications where lower power dissipation (PD) and/or excellent package thermal resistance (RθJA) is present,
the maximum ambient temperature (TA-MAX) may be increased.
In applications where high power dissipation and/or poor package thermal resistance is present, the maximum
ambient temperature (TA-MAX) may have to be derated. TA-MAX is dependent on the maximum operating junction
temperature (TJ-MAX-OP = 125°C), the maximum allowable power dissipation in the device package in the
application (PD-MAX), and the junction-to ambient thermal resistance of the part/package in the application (RθJA),
as given by Equation 3:
TA-MAX = (TJ-MAX-OP (RθJA × PD-MAX)) (3)
Alternately, if TA-MAX can not be derated, the PDvalue must be reduced. This can be accomplished by reducing
VIN in the 'VIN–VOUT' term as long as the minimum VIN is met, or by reducing the IOUT term, or by some
combination of the two.
8.2.2.2 External Capacitors
In common with most regulators, the LP3990 requires external capacitors for regulator stability. The LP3990 is
specifically designed for portable applications requiring minimum board space and smallest components. These
capacitors must be correctly selected for good performance.
8.2.2.3 Input Capacitor
An input capacitor is required for stability. It is recommended that a 1-µF capacitor be connected between the
LP3990 IN pin and GND pin (this capacitance value may be increased without limit).
This capacitor must be located a distance of not more than 1 cm from the IN pin and returned to a clean
analogue ground. Any good quality ceramic, tantalum, or film capacitor may be used at the input.
Important: To ensure stable operation it is essential that good PCB design practices are employed to minimize
ground impedance and keep input inductance low. If these conditions cannot be met, or if long leads are used to
connect the battery or other power source to the LP3990, then it is recommended that the input capacitor is
increased. Also, tantalum capacitors can suffer catastrophic failures due to surge current when connected to a
low-impedance source of power (like a battery or a very large capacitor). If a tantalum capacitor is used at the
input, it must be ensured by the manufacturer to have a surge current rating sufficient for the application.
There are no requirements for the ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) on the input capacitor, but tolerance and
temperature coefficient must be considered when selecting the capacitor to ensure the capacitance will remain
approximately 1 µF over the entire operating temperature range.
8.2.2.4 Output Capacitor
The LP3990 is designed specifically to work with very small ceramic output capacitors. A 1-µF ceramic capacitor
(temperature types Z5U, Y5V or X7R/X5R) with ESR between 5 mto 500 m, is suitable in the LP3990
application circuit.
For this device the output capacitor should be connected between the OUT pin and GND pin.
It is also possible to use tantalum or film capacitors at the device output, but these are not as attractive for
reasons of size and cost (see Capacitor Characteristics).
The output capacitor must meet the requirement for the minimum value of capacitance and also have an ESR
value that is within the range 5 mto 500 mfor stability.
8.2.2.5 No-Load Stability
The LP3990 will remain stable and in regulation with no external load. This is an important consideration in some
circuits, for example CMOS RAM keep-alive applications.

8.2.2.6 Capacitor Characteristics
The LP3990 is designed to work with ceramic capacitors on the output to take advantage of the benefits they
offer. For capacitance values in the range of 0.47 µF to 4.7 µF, ceramic capacitors are the smallest, least
expensive and have the lowest ESR values, thus making them best for eliminating high frequency noise. The
ESR of a typical 1-µF ceramic capacitor is in the range of 20 mto 40 m, which easily meets the ESR
requirement for stability for the LP3990.
For both input and output capacitors, careful interpretation of the capacitor specification is required to ensure
correct device operation. The capacitor value can change greatly, depending on the operating conditions and
capacitor type.
In particular, the output capacitor selection should take account of all the capacitor parameters, to ensure that the
specification is met within the application. The capacitance can vary with DC bias conditions as well as
temperature and frequency of operation. Capacitor values will also show some decrease over time due to aging.
The capacitor parameters are also dependant on the particular case size, with smaller sizes giving poorer
performance figures in general. As an example, Figure 14 shows a typical graph comparing different capacitor
case sizes in a Capacitance vs. DC Bias plot. As shown in the graph, increasing the DC Bias condition can result
in the capacitance value falling below the minimum value given in the recommended capacitor specifications
table (0.7 µF in this case). Note that the graph shows the capacitance out of spec for the 0402 case size
capacitor at higher bias voltages. It is therefore recommended that the capacitor manufacturers’ specifications for
the nominal value capacitor are consulted for all conditions, as some capacitor sizes (for example, 0402) may not
be suitable in the actual application.
Figure 14. Graph Showing A Typical Variation In Capacitance vs DC Bias
The ceramic capacitor’s capacitance can vary with temperature. The capacitor type X7R, which operates over a
temperature range of –55°C to 125°C, will only vary the capacitance to within ±15%. The capacitor type X5R has
a similar tolerance over a reduced temperature range of –55°C to 85°C. Many large value ceramic capacitors,
larger than 1 µF are manufactured with Z5U or Y5V temperature characteristics. Their capacitance can drop by
more than 50% as the temperature varies from 25°C to 85°C. Therefore, X7R and X5R types are recommended
over Z5U and Y5V in applications where the ambient temperature will change significantly above or below 25°C.
Tantalum capacitors are less desirable than ceramic for use as output capacitors because they are more
expensive when comparing equivalent capacitance and voltage ratings in the 0.47-µF to 4.7-µF range.
Another important consideration is that tantalum capacitors have higher ESR values than equivalent size
ceramics. This means that while it may be possible to find a tantalum capacitor with an ESR value within the
stable range, it would have to be larger in capacitance (which means bigger and more costly) than a ceramic
capacitor with the same ESR value. It should also be noted that the ESR of a typical tantalum will increase about
2:1 as the temperature goes from 25°C down to -40°C, so some guard band must be allowed.
8.2.2.7 Enable Control
The LP3990 features an active high Enable pin, EN, which turns the device on when pulled high. When not
enabled the regulator output is off and the device typically consumes 2 nA.
If the application does not require the Enable switching feature, the EN pin should be tied to VIN to keep the
regulator output permanently on.

To ensure proper operation, the signal source used to drive the EN input must be able to swing above and below
the specified turn-on/off voltage thresholds listed in the Electrical Characteristics section under VIL and VIH.
An internal 1-MΩpull-down resistor ties the EN input to ground, ensuring that the device remains off if the EN pin
is left open circuit.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
This device is designed to operate from an input supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V. The input supply should be
well regulated and free of spurious noise. To ensure that the LP3990 output voltage is well regulated, the input
supply should be at least VOUT + 0.5 V, or 2 V, whichever is higher. A minimum capacitor value of 1-μF is
required to be within 1 cm of the IN pin.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
The dynamic performance of the LP3990 is dependant on the layout of the PCB. PCB layout practices that are
adequate for typical LDO's may degrade the load regulation, PSRR, noise, or transient performance of the
LP3990.
Best performance is achieved by placing CIN and COUT on the same side of the PCB as the LP3990, and as
close as is practical to the package. The ground connections for CIN and COUT should be back to the LP3990
ground pin using as wide, and as short, of a copper trace as is practical.
Connections using long trace lengths, narrow trace widths, and/or connections through vias should be avoided.
These will add parasitic inductances and resistance that results in inferior performance especially during transient
conditions.
A Ground Plane, either on the opposite side of a two-layer PCB, or embedded in a multi-layer PCB, is strongly
recommended. This Ground Plane serves two purposes : 1) Provide a circuit reference plane to assure accuracy,
and 2) provides a thermal plane to remove heat from the LP3990 WSON package through thermal vias under the
package DAP.

10.3 DSBGA Mounting
The DSBGA package requires specific mounting techniques, which are detailed in TI Application Note DSBGA
Wafer Level Chip Scale PackageSNVA009.
For best results during assembly, alignment ordinals on the PC board may be used to facilitate placement of the
DSBGA device.
10.4 DSBGA Light Sensitivity
Exposing the DSBGA device to direct light may affect the operation of the device. Light sources, such as halogen
lamps, can affect electrical performance, if placed in close proximity to the device.
Light with wavelengths in the infra-red portion of the spectrum is the most detrimental, and so, fluorescent
lighting used inside most buildings, has little or no effect on performance.
